180 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
June '27 one larva of the same species was found on oak Dear the fair ground, Dis- 
trict of Colombia. It measures 2\ inchee in Length and is of a dark grayish-brown 
color, the dorsum being more brown whilst its sides and renter are dark gray. 
Wartfl and stigmata are of the sain.- color as in the Smaller larva from Florida. The 
minute oval spots are replaced by a rather indistinct marmoration. which on the 
dorsum is somewhat orange and on the sides and venter more olive. The moth 
issued .Inly •::', l--i'.. 
One larva of the same species was found by Koebele in Virginia, 
June 12, 1882, feeding on hickory. 
The larva is long and slender, of nearly even width throughout; the 
head flattened in front; mesothoracic segments with lateral and dorsal 
tubercles which are very rough; on the fourth abdominal segment are 
two conical dark dorsal tubercles; there are two minute dark tubercles 
on the fifth, and two slightly larger ones nearer together on the eighth. 
Abbot states that it feeds on Clematis rosea, and in his manuscript 
drawings that it feeds on Pyrrhopappus carolinianus. 
Larva.— Its length is If inches. Color gray with a slight yellowish tinge, and the 
-whole surface closely marked with minute, transversely oval, blackish or pale 
dusky spots. Head small, quite flat, and closely spotted with darker gray. Protho- 
rax small, scarcely broader than the head, with a broad, somewhat paler median and 
narrow subdorsal line. Its posterior margin is provided with a transverse row of 
four small black tubercles. The mesothorax is much larger aud very abrupt in 
frout; the small anterior wrinkles are somewhat yellowish, whilst the large poste- 
rior swelling is of the color of the body, being ornamented anteriorly by four trans- 
versely oval, conspicuous black spots, aunulated with a brownish-yellow ring. The 
four black warts on the metathorax are only externally bordered with brownish 
yellow. The two dorsal rows of warts on abdominal segments 1 to 7, are arranged 
as usual, are small, black, and also with brownish-yellow border externally. The 
posterior pair of dorsal spots on the fourth abdominal segmeut is replaced by two 
prominent, somewhat transversely oval, black tubercles with rouuded tip, and 
orauge-yellow external margin at base. The eighth segment is also somewhat 
swolleu above, is marked with two large black median spots, au orange annular with 
black center each side, and a transverse orange spot with black center behind the 
swelling. Stigmata orange with black anuulus. The three warts which surround the 
first abdomiual stigma differ somewhat from those of the other segments. The lower 
anterior wart is placed farther in front of the stigma than that of the other segments, 
whilst the upper wart is placed just above the stigma and largest. The two ante- 
rior warts of the other stigmata, however, are both placed in front, the upper one 
farthest apart. The anterior wart of the first stigma is black, with orange tips, and 
all other warts orange with black tip. There is a somewhat lunate, deep black 
superior margin at base of the wart above the first stigma and a short blackish dash 
above all other warts. The veuter is of a paler gray with three large blackish spots 
on the fourth aud fifth segments. (Riley.) 
Pupa. — Body unusually thick, rather short; surface rough aud corrugated, spotted 
with black; spiracles large and black. Pale dull reddish ash, dark towards and at 
the tip of the abdomen; legs somewhat streaked with black. The tip very peculiar, 
being short and blunt; the last segment corrugated wirh longitudinal ridges which 
are swollen at the anterior edge at the suture. Cremaster broad and couical, some- 
what flattened, the surface rough, coarsely pitted; a large smooth terminal curved 
spine, with three pairs of lateral rather large setse, all arising near together at the 
base of the single terminal one. Length, *20 ,nm . 
Moth.— Wings very falcate, especially in the female, where they are produced into 
a long point. Body and wings fawn color, with scattered black dots; front of head
